ReadyNAS Pro Stuck at Booting…
I’m trying to resurrect my ReadyNAS Pro and it’s stuck at Booting… It will complete the FS checks, but can’t get past Booting…. I’ve attempted an OS Reinstall and a USB Recovery, but the USB ...
Thanks for the reply.
Progress has been made. I took a single good disc and did a Factory Default on it and ran it through all six slots. 100% pass.
I then reinstalled the 5 original discs, in their original positions, and inserted the newly formatted disc in bay #5, it then detected a bad #6 drive. Evidently, with bay #5 empty and a bad #6, the boot sequence failed.
Unfortunately, 2 bad discs looks to equate to a total loss of everything. Is there anything that I’m missing to be able to retrieve anything off of the 4 good drives? If it makes any difference, the disc sizes are 4T, 1.5T, 1.5T, 1.5T, 0.5T and 0.5T. It was both 500G discs that died. Sure wish I had the money back then to keep all discs the same.

RAID-5 only has single redundancy, so getting anything back would be challenging.
You could try RAID recovery software that supports ext. You'd need a way to connect all the working disks to a PC. Imaging them to one larger disk is one option.
